Civil War in Sudan
The struggle for power between the army and the forces of quick response in Sudan has been going on for more than 18 months. The conflict in the country began after the overthrow of the 30-year reign of Omar al-Bashir as a result of the popular uprising.
All attempts to resolve the conflict were unsuccessful.
According to the UN, as a result of conflicts in Sudan, where the world’s largest crises of forced relocation and hunger are observed, more than 20 thousand people died, over 10 million people were forced to leave their homes, and more than 25 million people needed humanitarian assistance.
